after reading a few Illini blogs' game open threads and live chats (customary for me to read what opposing fans are saying after Buckeye Ws), the Illinois fans are very complimentary of this Buckeye team.. saying that we are a bunch of pro players vs. their average college guys, Bucks are a final four team etc..

However, one comment that stood out was about our attendance and how we dont deserve top-3 basketball teams because we don't show up for game, students dont fill their section, etc.

I semi-agree with them; why do we not fill up the Schott (put all "we are a football school" comments aside).. For Columbus residents and OSU students, why are we not going to home games? We are amongst the premier programs in the Country. A deep tourney run would solidify us as an elite program. I know the Schott is 18k+, but for a big city with a HUGE athletic following, what is the deal??
